#Le’Veon Bell seemingly wants the Jets to get trade him

Le’Veon Bell apparently agrees that the Jets should get rid of him.

After the Jets’ fifth straight loss to open the season, one that barely featured Le’Veon Bell in his first game back from injury, the disgruntled running back “liked” a tweet from sports talk radio host Jake Asman that said “the Jets should trade @LeVeonBell.”

Bell also “liked” several tweets questioning why head coach Adam Gase and the Jets only targeted him with one pass during the 30-10 loss to Arizona.

The 28-year-old had one reception for 7 yards and 13 rushes for 60 yards.

The running theme of Bell’s two-year stint with the Jets has been his lack of opportunities and production in Gase’s offense, which has produced mostly terrible results and put the coach’s job in jeopardy.

Gase attributed Bell’s light usage on Sunday to how the Cardinals lined up defensively.

Bell declined to speak with reporters following the loss, instead letting his social media do the talking — his go-to for making the Jets aware of his discontent.

Before the season, Bell made it clear on Twitter that he was unhappy after seeing limited time during practice. Gase said Bell had hamstring tightness, which Bell denied.

Bell then aggravated his hamstring in the season opener, leaving the dismal Jets without their top offensive weapon until Sunday.

The three-time Pro Bowl back is in the second season of a four-year, $52.5 million contract ($27 million guaranteed) he signed after sitting out a year in Pittsburgh, following failed contract negotiations.

With the Jets mired in what seems like a never-ending rebuild, they could possibly cut ties with Bell this offseason and save $9.4 million, if a potential trade doesn’t work itself out.
